chicken?

i saw this outside my window a couple of weeks ago

apparently my neighbours have chickens....

Les Vercors

today Paul took 4 of us, including me, up to this cave system to explore it and be awed...
well ok so we werent awed by the caves parce-que they were closed due to falling icicles but the trip up was gorgeous! The 4 of us were glued to the windows for the entire 2 hour trip and then screamed everyonce and a while on the narrow paths as we barely avoided a colosion with a crazy french driver. Really though, we drove through the prettiest things ever, we felt like we were in somekind of kodac calander.

These are pictures from the top of the Vercors, which is the mountain range near Grenoble where the caves are. The view isnt as pretty as our trip up them but it was still cool!as always there are more on flicker

bastille

Today Paul took a few of us up to the Bastille which is the fort that overlooks grenoble, the one that the balls go to. Its really cool and a popular place for climbing and running to, like what I did last week.

I think I am going to try to run it once a week....note try. ^_^the group qt one of the outcroppings

our destination.....its a long walk up

ana + brandon

good friends are hard to find but i think i found some

i hope i can keep them

fishbowl

The mountains here do a strange thing.

Sometimes, when things are right, they seem to stretch right into the sky, which makes it hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.

It makes me feel like I live in a fishbowl, being surrounded like that, with mountains on everyside.

I kinda like it.

revolution museum

Alors, these photos are from the Revolution Museum in Vizille, which is like an hour south of Grenoble. I didn't take that many pictures but as you can see it is quite pretty and I plan on going again just to admire the grounds some more.

OMG

so today i ran who knows how much to get to the bastille which is a fort on the top of one of our mountains! it was so cool and i got a wonderful view of the city, the pictures do no justiceI know the picture is fuzzy but it was pitch black so just a little bit difficult. The cool thing though is that if you can see the lights that are floating in the air? Well those are the brightest of some of the villages in the mountains in the backgroud. When their are lots of stars it looks like the lights on the mountains are stars as well and the feeling is awsome!

erg...

ok so i went to an internet cafe because i thought i could upload my pictures easier here and also type easier (go english keyboards), mais I cant figure out how to do it! DAM YOU LINUX! erg, so I guess none of you can see the pictures I have so far untill i go home and have my host-sister help me

regardless, things are great, cept I lost a bag at the aeroport, the one with all my pants, so I have been wearing the smae pants for what....4-5 days now, they are starting to stink but im still holding out!

anyway, time for lunch cause im hungry!this is Ana and the best sandwhich ever!!!!
I think its tomatoes, brie, and a basile spread
